Florence Duomo Complex Guided Tour & Brunelleschi’s Dome Climb
Most travelers see Florence’s Duomo. Few truly experience it.
This immersive small-group tour goes beyond the basics, led by a passionate, expert guide who brings to life the golden mosaics of the Baptistery, the treasures of the Duomo Museum, and the stories behind the Cathedral’s iconic façade. It’s not just a tour—it’s your front-row seat to the heart of Florence.
Skip the stress and head straight to your reserved Dome climb—your moment at the top is finally here. After 463 unforgettable steps, the reward is all yours: panoramic views that make every step worth it. No long waits, just a short 10–15 minute security check, and then… magic.
Your 3-day Duomo Complex pass unlocks even more: climb Giotto’s Bell Tower, enter the Cathedral via the faster Crypt entrance, and descend into the ancient Crypt to complete your journey through centuries of history.
